This is the Gaming World Recipe Thread!  We have had these in the past.  Basically, just post your favorite recipes or recipes that you created.  They can be anything from snacks, to actual meals, to desserts!  YUMM!



Vegan Blueberry Muffins


pastry so I just used that)

Tbsp. of water)

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix all dry ingredients.  In another bowl, mix all the wet ones.  Stir
the wt into the dry without over-mixing.  Oil a muffin tin and spoon
in the batter, filling the cups 2/3 full.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
ENJOY!

These muffins are great because they have flaxseeds in them.  Flaxseeds are really healthy for you and contain Omega fatty acids as well as proteins and other nutrients.  Also, really the only sugar in the muffins comes from the maple syrup.  When you are done your muffins should look like this:
Yes I made those muffins all by myself and yes I took that picture!

Easy Filipino Adobong Manok (Chicken Adobo)

Just cook the chicken (or pork, or whatever, for that matter, even swamp cabbage is fine) in vinegar and soy sauce (split about even, the amount depends on how much "juice/sauce" you want with the meal, I like having some to pour over my rice). Add a bay leaf or two and some pepper (authenticity points if it's the unground peppercorn), maybe a dash of salt too for some flavor. Cook it until it's, well, cooked.
Serve over rice or noodles.

Your dead grandmother could cook this, it's so easy.

I love these threads... here are some easy recipes that even I can't screw up too badly

Mamamack's Chicken Soup for the GW Soul
6 Cups Chicken Stock (either homemade or store-bought but avoid those stocks that are high in salts)
2LBS (a light 1KG) raw chicken, cubed into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 bay leaf
2 cups your favourite veggies (I use carrots and corn mostly)
1 cup pellet pasta OR small star pasta (use fortified infant pasta for extra calcium)
1 cup dry potato flakes (AKA instant mashed potatoes, the ones you find in the boxes; use plain ones only)
6-8 collard green leaves, shredded (optional)

Bring the chicken stock to a roaring boil. Add the chicken, garlic powder and the bay leaf and boil for 15-20 minutes. Add veggies and pasta, turn the heat to low and simmer for about an hour stirring occasionally. Turn off all heat and stir in potato flakes (and collard greens, if you're using them). Stir until the potato flakes are completely mixed into the soup and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Stir again and enjoy! Freeze leftovers. For added kick add a dash or two tabasco sauce to the stock or a teaspoon hot paprika or chili flakes when you add the spices.

Scalloped potatoes
10-12 medium sized potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
1 can Cream of (insert your favourite here) Soup (I use Cheddar Cheese or Broccoli and Cheese)
Milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 or 2 cups shredded cheese

Line a casserole dish with aluminum foil and grease it well. Layer potatoes evenly in the dish but don't pack them in- you're looking for the dish to be about half-full. Mix together the soup with equal parts milk and pour that onto the potatoes. Cover with foil, pierce the top and bake at 350F for about a hour or until potatoes are tender but not burnt. Remove the dish from the oven, uncover and top with cheese. Recover loosely and allow the dish to sit for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. For variety, try this recipe but replace the potatoes with mixed veggies and toss in tuna for a quick tuna casserole

3 ingredient cookie happy squares
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups crumbs (be them graham cracker crumbs, oreo crumbs, shortcake crumbs, whatever)
1 package (about 250-300g) baker's chips (chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, vanilla chips, toffee chips, peanut butter chips)

Pre-heat the over to 350F. Line a small square baking dish with aluminum foil and grease well. In a bowl combine all ingredients- it's going to be a sticky mess so it's best to use a fork and a plastic spatula. Plop the sticky mess into the baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is crisp. Remove from the oven and allow the cookie brick to cool completely before hacking into squares. My favourite combos are graham crackers/dark chocolate, oreo/white chocolate and crushed pretzel/milk chocolate.

I dunno, they just look really dry to me. Muffins should be moist and fluffy (though, not as moist and fluffy as cupcakes).

doktor,

You could possibly make them more moist/appealing by adding a little bit of veggie. oil (just eyeball it -- a few tablespoons would probably do the job).  (Pretty sure that goes with Veganism)  Also, the wheat doesn't help much with the dryness.  But they're probably a hell of a lot better for you.  Surprised they look that firm without egg.  Not bad.  May definitely try making some -- I have some frozen berries in the freezer and just made Blueberry cookies the other day, haha.

They are kinda dry until you hit a blueberry spot.  I made two batches.  The first batch I put one cup of blueberries (what it called for) and they weren't as good as the second batch where I put more in!

Cool, glad you look interested!  They definitely are healthier.  There really isn't anything in them that is bad for you other than the syrup that I used had Sodium Benzoate in it but oh well that's all I had at the time!

Flaxseed Tabbouli!


   1.  In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature; fluff with a fork.
   2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, carrots and parsley. Stir in cooled quinoa.

You can eat it just like that with a spoon, you can use it as a dip for chips, or you can put in a wrap...so many ways to enjoy it!

This (http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/31786/tab.JPG) is what it should look like when you are done.  It may look gross, but trust me, it's good!

finnaly i got this translated this recipie is one of the most espectacular things you ever taste. they sell in almost every corner in mexico and is the real mexican fast food. you can add to this recipe the slasa mexicana, salsa verde and salsa ranchera they all fit here and taste good.

TACOS AL PASTOR ( the original )

Ingredients:
•   10 chiles Pasilla
•   10 chiles Guajillo
•   1/2 garlic bulb
•   1/4 litter White Vinegar
•   1/4 tsp. Cumin
•   5 cloves
•   salt
•   pineapple (fresh or canned)
•   2 lbs thin pork meat
•   1 onion
•   Fresh cilantro (coriander)
•   1 Beer
•   2 Limes
Pre-cooking:
•   Cut the pork meat in thin stakes or slices if necessary. Normally each stake would rest on top of each other while marinating and cooking.
The following is the recipe for the marinade, this is a lot so you won't have to make it very often.
 
•   Take the seeds out of the chiles, cut them in little pieces and mash them together with the garlic, cloves, and cumin, avoid touching the chiles and vinegar with your bare hands if possible. The vinegar and chiles can "cook" your hands, trust me. A food processor would help here.
•   Boil the ingredients from the above step in the vinegar until it makes some sort of a heavy paste. Making sure that it won't burn, so mix it often.
•   Once fully cooked drink the beer while you let the marinade cool down.

Apply the paste to the meat putting one steak on top of the other. At a real taqueria they would form a top that eventually goes into the rotisserie. Since we do not have the rotisserie you simply pile the meat together and store in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
 
Cooking:
•   In a taqueria they would roast the "top" of meat with pineapple on top of it so that the juice gives the meat some of its flavor. The meat would be rotated constantly as the cook cuts very small slices of meat and pineapple to be served in a taco.
•   Chop the cilantro and onion.
•   Without a rotisserie, our only choice is to cut the pork in small bits so that it can be eaten easily in a taco.
•   Use a frying pan and cook the meat with small pieces of pineapple making sure the pork is fully cooked and just about to burn in some cases (well roasted).
•   Cut the limes in quarters.
•   Serve the tacos with chopped cilantro, onion, and the limes.
Tips:
•   Squeeze a lit bit of lime juice in the taco before you eat it and add habanero salsa.
•   For microwave, add 15 seconds per tortilla and heat them between paper napkins.

Looking over this, I think I may try a variation on Dok's muffins.

Instead of whole wheat pastry flour.. ill use reg pastry flour, Instead of maple syrup ill add honey, and ill add a bit of vegtable oil. im also iffy on the flax seed thing (egg replacement) so dok know of any other egg replacements besides flax+water?

Why are you taking out the healthy things and changing them with a little unhealthier options (minus the syrup that was probably the worst thing in the muffins).


A company called Ener-G makes an egg replacer or you can use:

• 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup mashed potatoes
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup canned pumpkin or squash
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup puréed prunes
• 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg = 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water
• 1 egg white = 1 Tbsp. plain agar powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water, whipped, chilled, and whipped again

Also applesauce works.

Basic Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients:
400 grams of Minced Meat (Cow preferably, but mixed will do)
500 grams of Pasta (Any will do)
1 can of Crushed Tomatoes
½ of the can filled with water
1 Onion (Yellow, but Red is fine too)
1/4 Garlic (Optional)

Recommended Spices:
Pepper
Salt
or
Soysauce
Sweet Sour Chilisauce
or Mix all of them

How to Cook
First boil the Pasta and follow the instructions on the packet. (Cooking time and etc.) Meanwhile the Pasta boils so Chop the onion and put the meat into the frying pan. (Make sure the meat is divided evenly in the frying pan, so it is not just one big lump of fried meat.) Let the meat be fried until it is totally coloured and then add the chopped onions. (Around 5-10 minutes of time. Make sure the onions are spread evenly.) After an additional 5 minutes add the whole can of crushed tomatoes with water and then add your desired spices. Let it cook for 10 minutes and serve it together with the Pasta or to get more flavor so cook much longer. (Add additonal water to make the food not get burnt.)

Yummy is it, to make it more win so add some Corn and Mushrooms :D​.

i will be putting 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder in as my egg substitute.

Well i hate whole wheat stuff. and Honey is healthyer and yummier than syrup so i think it will even out :confused:







Homemade Popcorn chicken
(these arnt exactly like popcorn chicken from kfc or popeyes, or even really much like them at all but i know i like them and there pretty healthy(sort of) if done right)

-2 boneless chicken breast
-1tsp of baking powder.
-1/3 tsp of salt. (not entirely sure if you need this)
-1/2 to 1 tsp pf lemon juice (personal prefrence)
-3tbsp of enriched white flour.
-a few shakes of black pepper
-paprika and cayenne pepper for taste.

Chop The Chicken breast in small cubes. Wash them all in Water.     In a tupperware container,  Add flour, cream of tartar, cayenne, and pepper.  Put the cubes in the tupperware, close lid and shake. (the wet chicken cubes will help adhear this "batter" to them better.
Take out and Cook in a deepfryer for 10-13minutes. put them on a cookie sheet. dab off the ecxess grease with a napkin or paper towel. Put on the Lemon juice little drips over them, and then add the few shakes of black pepper. put in the oven on 250*F(120*C) for about 5-10 minutes.    These are a quick and tasty lunch and its not very hard to do them.




Pork and Hen ( Omelette with bacon)
-2 eggs
-a few strips of thawed bacon
-condenced milk
-1/2tsp of sea salt
-2tsp of pepper
-3tsp of peprika
-1/2 tsp seasoning salt
-1 tbsp of water
-1/2tsp of oil


In a cup crack both eggs and add in all ingredients but the bacon and milk and oil. Stir until the pepper and peprika are blended in. Add in Condenced milk (can milk) till you get a nice creamier yellow color. pour half of the mix on a Frying pan thats had the oil added to it and preheated.  Once you see the first sign of a bubble in the omlette, Add chopped bacon (i guess you can use stripes but i rather little peices). when bacon is added. pour the other half of the mix on top.
Leave be on a low setting for a few minutes then flip it over. let it cook on other side and flip over again. continue flipping every few minutes on low till done. take out and eat.  the peprika despite popular belief actually has a flavoring when cooked.  If you wish you may add a handfull of your favorite veggies.

Basic Pasta Bolognese

½ of the can filled with water

I never add water, I find that the crushed tomatoes are enough as far as sauce goes. Some other things you can try with bolognese:

1. Use 50% minced meat and 50% soy. You won't really notice the difference and it's a lot cheaper!
2. Add shredded carrots. Makes the meal healthier and it's a cheap way to make more at once!
3. You can enhance the taste of tomato by adding a small can of tomato purée, it can really make a difference.

I also have my own seafood bolognese as I like to call it. You basically prepare it the same way, but add tuna, shrimps and some canned clams. Don't use onion but add a lot of garlic. Delicious! :nyd:

Yeah I do this, however I'm a bit more methodical when it comes to seasonings and what goes with what, but generally I only have leftovers and cream of whatever soup and some whacky ass vegetables and rice to work with so I really have to wing it.

I made some pretty OK ***tamales de puerco*** with the following:

Eat sweet corn (I know it's wrong Adolph! But forgive us, it's all we Americanos have). Keep husks, wash, clean off silk. Put on a table and move to a climate with zero humidity ( like here in Montana :D ). Otherwise I suppose you could put it out in the sun to dry.
After a few days, your husks should be pretty dehydrated enough. Soak them in hot water for at least an hour so they'll be pliable.
Get about a pound of pork, slap it into a saucepan with some diced onion, garlic, a bay leaf or two, and a few peppercorns. Boil, and simmer for about an hour or until cooked. Drain all the broth, except for reserving 1 1/4 cup for the instant corn masa flour you'll make the tamales with. Shred the pork with forks, and mix about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce (roughly half a can) into the pork, so it's all nice and flavorful. You can supposedly let it sit overnight to bring out the flavor, but I didn't bother.
So mix about 2 cups masa with some lard, oil, or vegetable shortening (1/4 cup I think), 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, and the pork broth. Knead the dough until it's all dough-y.
This is why it sucks to have sweet corn as opposed to authentic Mexican field corn: every tamale will most likely need at least 2-3 husks so you can wrap it all nice. So take the husks, pat them dry with a paper towel, put them down slightly overlapping each other, slap about 1 tablespoon of dough onto the husk near the non-pointy, open end, with a little space from the edge so it doesn't pop out. Spoon some of the pork filling into the middle of the circle (it helps to have a bit of an indentation), and cap it with some more tamale dough. Wrap the husks around the tamale, fold the pointy end over to seal up the bottom, and I like to use strips of husk to tie them all neat. Place in a steamer, where it'll cook, open end facing up.
So once you have all the tamales made up, steam them for about an hour or until they can peel away from the husk cleanly.
You can top the tamale with the extra enchilada sauce, or as I discovered this morning, Velveeta Cheese Dip (velveeta cheese + Ro Tel Tomatoes w/ green chilis) also makes an awesome topping.

So that's all just from my memory of doing it yesterday, hope I didn't forget anything.

P.S. Supposedly you can use aluminum foil in lieu of corn husks, but that would just be....not flavorful. :(

Oh, store extras in tin foil in the refrigerator (they'll last about 3-4 days), and heat them up again by steaming them again, in the oven, or wrapping them in wax paper and microwaving.

This is the Gaming World Recipe Thread!  We have had these in the past.  Basically, just post your favorite recipes or recipes that you created.  They can be anything from snacks, to actual meals, to desserts!  YUMM!



Vegan Blueberry Muffins

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I had regular whole wheat flour, not

pastry so I just used that)
  • 3/4 unbleached white flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • Egg Replacer equivalent to one egg (I used 1 Tbsp. Flaxseed and 3

Tbsp. of water)
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350F

They look nice Doktormartini, but what is non-dairy milk and what can I use instead of maple syrup and flaxseed?

BASIC MACARONI AND CHEESE
Very basic Macaroni and Cheese recipe, for those of you who don't know how to make it.

Ingredients:
1 1/2lb of pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.)
2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour
3 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese (you can mix and use different cheeses if you like)
1/2 stick of butter
1 cup of milk
Salt
Pepper


Start by salting and cooking your pasta. It shouldn't be too difficult to cook pasta, just follow the instructions on the box. Once the pasta is cooked, place it in a casserole plate. In a decently sized pot, melt your stick of butter. Once butter is completely melted, whisk in the flour. Once the flour is thoroughly mixed in with the butter, add the milk. Whisk together the ingredients until smooth. When mixture is smooth, put in 2 cups of your cheese into the pot, then whisk together until the cheese is completely melted, then add a pinch of salt and pepper. The sauce should be somewhat thick and smooth. Once everything is mixed in, pour cheese sauce over the pasta in the casserole plate. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on the top of the casserole.

Pre-heat the oven to 375*F, then bake the macaroni casserole for 25 minutes.

And there we go, a basic macaroni and cheese recipe.

BASIC MACARONI AND CHEESE
this is reminding me of my old highschool's baked macaroni and cheese which was actually really good. I don't think it was cheddar cheese though

They look nice Doktormartini, but what is non-dairy milk and what can I use instead of maple syrup and flaxseed?
non dairy milk is stuff like soymilk, rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk, any nut milk, any seed milk...etc

For Maple Syrup I'm not sure probably honey (I don't eat honey) or Agave Nectar or something.

And for flaxseed since I used it as an egg substitute you can look at other egg substitutes here:

I can get some yeah but I don't have any offhand that I made recently so no pics from me (unless they are online pics).  Also these aren't mine I got them from online.

Umm...



This next one is really good I had it once at a vegan restaurant and then me and my mom (no she's no vegan but eats lots of the stuff I make) made it up ourselves at home but here is a recipe for it that should work!

There, three recipes each containing one of the major meat substitutes =o)

Ridiculously easy bean chili:

Can of diced tomatoes
Can of beans (black, red, whatever)

Combine them w/ all the juices. Heat it up on the range or in a microwave. Add a healthy dose of cumin and chili powder, and a dash of sour cream, and a sprinkling of your favorite shredded cheese.
Actually, add whatever you feel like. You can even put in some guacamole or even some crumbled up tortilla chips.
Stir it up and enjoy.

Vegan Pizza Bread
    * French Bread

    * Marinara or Pizza Sauce

    * Vegan Mozzarella Cheese

    * Whatever toppings you want

    * A little garlic salt

    * A little Oregano



Preheat the oven to 400F

Cut the french bread in half. Cover the tops with the marinara or pizza sauce. Grate the mozzarella cheese and put it on top of the marinara/pizza sauce to cover most of the bread. Add any toppings you wish. Sprinkle some garlic salt and oregano over the top. Put in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is crunchy.

This (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=18009279&albumID=900577&imageID=16436985) is what it should look like when you are done.

LEMON SANDWICH

Ingredients:

1 large lemon
1 normal sized banana
Gorgonzola cheese
2 pieces of bread

First slice the banana in long stripes, and fry them
Then you put some pieces of gorgonzola cheese over one of the two pieces of bread and heat it until the cheese melts
Then you peel the lemon and cut it several times, so that it looks like the lemon has been cut several times
Then you put the lemon slices over the bread with the gorgonzola cheese, and put the fried bananas there
Then you put the other piece of bread above everything else

And then you eat it! You may omit the lemon if you don't like eating lemons.

Ah well ... here a recipe of my own.

Unorthodox green curry
(A Thai curry recipe, adjusted to fit the ingredients I had at the time, and then changed a little bit more every time I try it) - serves 1-3

Put some oil in a big frying pan (or even a wok, if your girlfriend hasn't scraped it with a fork so much that the non-stick coating flakes off and gets in your food). Crush a couple of cloves of garlic into it, and add some herbs/spices (I use half a dozen birds eye chillies, and half to one teaspoon of lemon grass, chives, coriander, ginger, cayenne pepper, paprika and black peppercorns). If your friend just had a party and there's a leftover lime on the counter (No, I don't know why someone would buy a big sack of fresh limes for a party), squeeze some lime juice in as well.
Put on a high heat until the oil starts to sizzle, then add 2-3 chicken breasts (or pork steaks, or a pack of cheap chopped turkey ... sausages also work well, but bacon/gammon doesn't). Fry for about 5 minutes, then turn and repeat (adding more oil+spices if necessary).

Take the pan off the heat for a moment. Cut the meat into strips or bite-size chunks. (This is what kitchen scissors are for - I would have thought this should be obvious, but I know someone who needed to be told that its unnecessary to get out a chopping board for this task). Add 2 tablespoons (40g / 2oz) of shrimp paste, just enough coconut milk to cover the bottom of the pan, and 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of minced beef. Put back on a medium heat. Now is a good time to turn on the rice cooker. Also measure out 250ml (a large mug full, if you don't do metric) of coconut milk.

Then stir-fry, sprinkling a spoonful of the coconut milk over the top every minute or so. When you've added all the milk, throw in any veggies you like (I usually use a couple of chopped carrots, half an onion, and a handful of cashew nuts), and stir-fry for another couple of minutes.

Serve with rice or nodules
Consume
Enjoy (this step is not optional)

[Note: The first time, I left the shrimp paste out because I don't like it. But then I found that you can't really taste it, and it brings out the flavor of the spices. So don't omit the shrimp]



We should have a food forum :cake: Is that thing where you can make a forum for $30 still going on?

Thanks for the recipes Adolph :) A little present for you in return. Maybe I'll also offer a reward to other people who posted, once I tried your recipes.

Basic Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients:
400 grams of Minced Meat (Cow preferably, but mixed will do)
500 grams of Pasta (Any will do)
1 can of Crushed Tomatoes
½ of the can filled with water
1 Onion (Yellow, but Red is fine too)
1/4 Garlic (Optional)

Recommended Spices:
Pepper
Salt
or
Soysauce
Sweet Sour Chilisauce
or Mix all of them


This is okay to start with, but I gotta agree with the 'don't put water in' sentiment. Use tomato puree or leave it as is.

Spices/herbs should definitely include basil, and if you have it thyme and oregano. Goes really well with tomato.


My ingredients would be:

400-500 grams of minced beef (higher quality the better, obviously)
1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes (I think roma are the best, but doesn't really matter. Also canned are just as good as fresh for pasta, regardless of what others may say. Can should be roughly 500 grams from memory)
1 whole onion, chopped well
1-2 teaspoons of crushed garlic (Use the stuff in a jar, it's fine, or use a garlic mincer, or just crush a clove and chop it finely)
1/2 a red/green capsicum, chopped well (Preferably a larger one, if it's small use a whole one)
4-5 small mushrooms, chopped well (Or, if you can get them, 1-2 of the large field mushrooms, finely chopped
Grated carrot (This is a good tip. I didn't put a quantity as it really depends on personal taste, I usually use about half a cup, just to give a bit of it throughout)
1/2 to 1 a teaspoon of basil (As above)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Note - with the herbs, it's really upto personal taste. Try the sauce and add accordingly
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (Extra virgin if you can)
1/4 cup red wine (Most anything works, but not cooking wine. Stuff you'd drink)
Lots of cracked pepper
Salt

And of course pasta. Might seem like a long list, but it tastes fantastic. Cook basically everything bar the liquids/tomatoes and meat first, then add the meat, then add the liquid/tomatoes.

nice nice i like this..!  so any one can put here the recipe for good milkshakes?

Here's a couple of really simple ones I make:

Note: When I say cups, I mean the cup size you'll be drinking out of or a drinking glass, not a 200ml standard cup.

Banana Smoothie

1 banana, chopped
1 and a half cups of milk
2-4 tablespoons of honey (I love my honey in smoothies, so I kinda go nuts. Upto you personally)
2 tablespoon scoops of vanilla/banana ice cream
2 tablespoons vanilla yoghurt

Directions: Blend. Drink.

Vanilla Milkshake (Easiest thing ever)

1 and a half cups of milk
4 tablespoon scoops of vanilla ice cream
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Directions: Blend thoroughly to make sure you get all the ice cream dissolved. Drink.

Chocolate Milkshake

1 and a half cups of milk
2 tablespoons Italian drinking chocolate (stuff you put on cappuccinos. Tastes great)
4-8 segments chocolate, grated/chopped/crushed (just 4-8 bits off a block)
1 tablespoon scoop chocolate ice cream

Directions: Make sure the chocolate is chopped up good unless you have a shit hot blender. I don't. Might need to add more milk if it gets too thick and strong.

Blueberry Milkshake

1/2 a cup (this is a standard cup) to a cup of frozen blueberries (buy frozen, they are much, much cheaper. Add more if you'd like!)
1 and a half to 2 cups of milk
1 tablespoon scoop vanilla ice cream
1/2 tablespoon thickened cream
1 tablespoon honey

Directions: Blend. It's simultaneously rich and refreshing, awesome milkshake.

The PTizzle Special

I make this when i'm feeling rich. Gonna try a variation for my girlfriend soon, might post up a picture recipe for it if I remember.

1 mango, diced. (Do the ol mango square trick. Cut around the seed, cut it out, then draw lines with a knife so you can push the mango skin and make cubes come out. This is probably easier to explain in pictures)
4-6 strawberries
Small handful blueberries (frozen is good)
Half a banana, chopped
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoon scoops of mango sorbet
1 tablespoon scoop of vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream (squirt a bunch in, not a ridiculous amount, just whatever you'd like)
2 to 2 and a half cups of milk (depending on how thick you want it)

Directions: Blend. Fantastic shake, but it can cost quite a bit to make.



I'm also going to make that macaroni cheese now. Looks nice, haven't had mac cheese in ages.

okay yea here goes. I dont do the RECIPE thing so much so if you're looking for that you gonna get boned.

Pasta and Chicken with Vodka Sauce

first off the most important part: get good vodka.

steelpauldrons tip: Grey Goose, Skyy, etc, are not worth getting. they are highly priced because of MARKETING. they in fact lost in tasting contests to Smirnoff! So get that. if you mix vodka you basically don't need to worry about taste anyways. I've heard good things about Tito's Homemade drank clean though just fyi!

get some ingredients. I fucked up and got TOMATOS IN A CAN instead of TOMATO PASTE so dont do that but you might wanna chop up a tomato because its good in a sauce. I liked onion but not too much so I hastily cut up about a quarter of an onion. I also didn't have garlic so I used garlic powder sparingly. for you guys I'd get some bellpeppers (not too many because christ bellpeppers can overwhelm any dish, mushrooms, whatever!

first off get an immigrant to make the pasta while you make the sauce. get some chicken, cut up as much as you need, and brown in some oil with salt and pepper.

steelpaultrdrons tip: here's one youe mom probably doesn't know; don't ever EVER wipe your knife parallel to the cutting board. it dulls it REALLY FAST. yeah seriously I was surprised to learn this but it's true!

okay once you go that chicken browned (all in a frying pan sauce pan w/e), put in most your ingredients save tomatos, cheese, and vodka. brown dem onions good heh...fuck yea. once it's kind of browned, put your paste and tomatoes and vodka in and let that shit reduce for a while. some people advise putting half and half in but since I didn't even have paste I figured it was a bad idea.

I ended up adding two slices of provelone to the mix so that it would thicken. mix with pasta, and serve. get some wine out.

(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i179.photobucket.com/albums/w299/GopeHammer/apartment027.webp)

steelpaulsdresons tisp: I like reds with pasta, I find the strong musk of reds works better. don't listen to assholes who say UGH YOU HAVE TO DRINK X WITH Y because that's bullshit, drink what you like.
steelpadidneslin tpis #2 in a row: when adding parmesan, just avoid the store bought crap. that shit is SAND AND SALT honestly. get a block of parmesan and a cheese grater and improve everything.

I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS RECIPE NEXT WEEK: MY DICK.

No.  All of my recipes aren't actually mine they are from cookbooks.  I don't have them posted anywhere other than here and my myspace blog (The ones on my myspace blog are basically the same as here.
www.myspace.com/doktormartini
There is a photo album there of a lot of the vegan recipes I made.  I'm actually really getting into cooking.  I wanna maybe take some raw (un)cooking classes.  I want to come up with my own recipes or make variations of others', but I suck and would probably just fuck things up now.  I need more knowledge.

I can give you some links to sites with good recipes.  Also, my blog will have recipes added frequently so if you want you can check that out every once in awhile.  Just keep in mind all the recipes in my blog will be vegan but they will also be raw.

Here are some sites with good recipes:

Here is a recipe that I just made and it is dehydrating!

RAW VEGAN CHEESY CHIPS
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (use a spiral slicer, I don't have one so my pieces are uneven!)
1/4 cup purified water
1/4 cup Braggs Liquid Aminos (it's like soy sauce but not)
Nutritional Yeast

Cut the potatoes in thin slices.  Put the water and Liquid Aminos in a big bowl.  Marinate the potatoes for around 5 minutes.  Take them out and dry them.  Lay them out on a dehydrator tray(s) and then put the nutritional yeast on them, however much you want.  Dehydrate at 105F for 8-10 hours (yeah it takes a long time but they are good).  I have 1 hour left for them to be done and I tried them and they are great.  The time is long though so it's advisable to make like 3 batches because they might go quick!  If people are interested I'll post a pic sometime soon.

Here is a raw vegan ice cream recipe! 

Take some bananas and squish them up and put them in a bowl or something.  Then make some dark chocolate sauce:
*4 heaped tablespoons of cacao powder
*3 tablespoons of raw agave nectar
*1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil

Mix the chocolate sauce together until it becomes like an icing consistency.  Then take that and mix it with the bananas.  Freeze it for a couple of hours and enjoy!  Surprisingly, it's very good!

The ... Meat n cheeze sammich
Ingredients:
 Bread
 Ground Beef
 Cheese ( marble or mozza )
 [optional] Pepperoni


cook the mince meat on a frying pan and when done,  put some sliced/shredded  cheese on bread, add some Meat (add bacon if you will), and then another layer of sliced/shredded cheese and another piece of bread, now put in microwave for just 20 seconds to help melt the cheese and warm the bread. this is pretty delish and i have it usually whenever mom makes stir fry cause i hate stir-fry so i just take some mince meat before she stirs it in.

Zucchini Chips
Take a couple of zucchini and cut them in thin chip circles.  Sprinkle garlic salt and Celtic sea salt on them.  Dehydrate them at about 105F for around 15 hours (yeah takes awhile).  Enjoy!

I made this recipe on my own.  I read in other books about making chips outta zucchini so I came up with this.  They are good.  I should have made some kind of dip to go with it.

Oh, if you don't have a dehydrator you can use an oven but the bad part is that you have to watch the oven and can't really leave it on overnight cause it's gas.  With a dehydrator most of them are usually made to be on for like 24+ hours straight and you can sleep and dehydrate at the same time.

Edit:  Ovens usually don't go under 118F so you can't use them.

I made some raw spaghetti and marinara tonight it was sooooo good.  I used a lot of garlic though because I love garlic and it was INTENSE.

The recipe is there...check it out!

Also earlier in this thread I said all of the recipes I posted are from cookbooks or uncookbooks but now I'm starting to experiment on my own so some aren't.  If they are I usually give the title of the book they are from.

PTizzle's Bruschetta

I made this the other day, it was fantastic. Make sure to get Italian bread - it makes all the difference. Good white bread is okay but if you use Italian bread or bruschetta toasts you'll really notice it. This is basically a lightish lunch for two:

Four slices of Italian bread/bruschetta toasts
One tablespoon good olive oil (plus a bit extra for drizzling on top)
Half a clove of garlic, well chopped (or a small teaspoon of crushed garlic from a jar works fine)
Two tomatoes - it's really your choice here what type you want. All I'll say is fresher the better. Chop them finely
Half a large spanish onion, chopped finely
Roughly one tablespoon of fresh basil, chopped well. Use actual fresh basil as opposed to pre-packaged
One tablespoon of finely chopped black olives (the pre chopped kind is fine)
One tablespoon of diced bacon (this is entirely optional, if you don't like meat then you can easily forego it)
One tablespoon of buffalo mozarella, pulled into small pieces (this stuff is expensive but tastes fantastic, but again it's optional)
Freshly ground pepper (You probably won't need salt - the olives tend to add enough)

Directions:

You want all the ingredients finely chopped and then roughly diced - combine in a mixing bowl (with your hands is fine, I find it's the easiest way). Get a pastry brush and brush some olive oil on to the bread/toasts and put them under the grill for a few minutes (until they're lightly browned and well toasted, you'll need to turn them also). Take them out, apply the bruschetta mix equally onto the four pieces and then place them back in the oven, with the grill plate moved down to near the bottom. 3-4 minutes should do. Take them out, drizzle some more olive oil over the top (be careful - put your finger over the top and only let a little escape at a time), crack some more pepper on it and enjoy! This can also make a great dinner as a side to fresh pasta and home-made pesto.

Actually, a lot of ovens are electric, not gas. Still, I wouldn't want to leave my oven on while I wasn't home or while I was asleep. Plus, yeah, other than the occasional toaster over, I don't think I've ever seen an oven that goes lower then 150F (approx 60C). It's a shame, because those chips sound good, but I refuse to pay for a dehydrator, because I wouldn't get enough use out of it (plus, I don't really have space in my apartment).

You can buy cheap ones at Walmart (like $30USD) but the thing is they don't have a temperature guage and I read somewhere that most of those kind use temperatures above 118F which means they aren't raw and you can't change it.  But you can still make the chips outta them.

Also the oven we have is gas but I know a lot are electric.

I was experimenting at 2am and this is what I did.  I put a spoonfull of raw cacao (chocolate) in a gallon of water and mixed it around good.  I also added a little agave nectar (I shoulda added more but I ran out) and mixed it.  Then I put two tea bags (green tea but any would probably work) and let it sit until I woke up.  I'm drinking it now and it's awesome!

Not a recipe but just a bit of info.  I ordered 8oz of raw cacao nibs and 8oz of raw dried Goji Berries.

Goji Berries are another superfood and the number one thing in all of Traditional Chinese Medicine and have been for about 5000 years.

They are a complete protein source (meaning they contain all essential amino acids) and they have a fuck ton of vitamins and minerals and shit. 


Update:  The stuff came today.  The Goji Berries actually taste pretty good.  I can see myself eating a lot of these but they are expensive.  The cacao is expensive too but tastes pretty bitter just by itself.  I've heard of mixing it with things like agave nectar to make it more sweet and I'll try that when I get some more.

I am gonna go buy some more almonds and dates and make a almond, date, chocolate, goji bar (kinda like a trail mix bar) but it'll have two superfoods in one!

I made a superfood smoothie today.  Bananas, Goji Berry Juice, Raw Cacao, Agave Nectar, and Wheatgrass.  It tasted really good.  I bought a bunch of shit at the store and tomorrow I am going to try this Kale Chip recipe from:
http://goneraw.com/recipes/215-Kale-Chips-AKA-Green-Monster-Chips


Ingredients

    * 1 head fresh kale, wash and remove center stem/vien
    * 1 teaspoon sea salt
    * 1 teaspoon raw agave nectar
    * ½ teaspoon sea salt (again)
    * large container for soaking

Preparation

Cut the pieces of kale into palm-sized segments. Place them all in large container and fill with water. Toss 1 tsp. sea salt into water. Bruise the kale with your hands for about a minute. Allow to sit in salted water for about 30 minutes. Drain well. Toss with agave nectar and remaining 1/2 tsp. Lay the leaves on mesh dehydrator screens. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for about 8-10 hours.

I do recommend eating these outside as they make a HUGE mess. My kids usually eat the entire container in one sitting. They are yummy, and a great way to get more greens in. I have also added herbs before (dried oregano and basil) which gave it an almost pizza-type flavor.

Check it!

Also, here is a recipe for raw apple cinnamon cookies.  Again, I just did an experiment so no measurements.

Cut up some apples and blend them in a food processor.  Mix in raw oats, some agave nectar, and some cinnamon.  Blend until mushy.  Form into cookie shapes and dehydrate at around 108 for about four hours, then flip them over and dehydrate another four hours.

I'm gonna be making these again tomorrow but I'll be adding hemp seeds also.

Banana Chocolate Cookies:
Blend some bananas until mushy.  Mix in some oats, hemp seeds, agave nectar, and cinnamon.  Form into cookie shapes and dehydrate just like the apple ones.

I didn't realize the pic was that big sorry.  Also, they're green because those are the apple skins (I left them on cause I'm cool like that).  Also, sure they may look gross but yeah taste 'em.

those cookies and brownies look pretty good to me, though I'm confused why they're "brownies/fudge"? brownies and fudge are pretty different. from the ingredients, it seems like they'd most likely have a brownie texture.

the brownies have a bit too many ingredients for me to just go out buy all of them, but I might actually try the banana biscuits!

edit: can I replace agave syrup for honey? I've got loads of honey I love honey :)

you can't call brownies that haven't been cooked at all brownies because they will taste like seeds.

I would also like to point out, at the risk of ruining another fucking topic over doktormartini, that a lot of these recipes might actually make you ill. eating food raw is not something people are used to, and certain raw foods contain extreme levels of nutrients that are balanced in a normal meal while exacerabated in a raw one. overloading your body on nutrients is not a healthy lifestye choice at all.

there's no real reason unless you have extreme health concerns (ie a real doctor told you to) that you should be eating this substitute food. if you're operating under a belief that by paying an extremely high amount of money for goji berries (never scientifically proven to do anything extraordinary or "super") and spirulina (not the amazing wonder algae doktormartini thinks it is, and like all seaweed, a potential carcinogen) will somehow absolve you of health concerns, you're very wrong.

none of these are extremely good for you, they are all much more expensive, and I'll bet everything I've got that a real brownie beats the shit out of some uncooked mix of berries and powder.

I just never understood why people try to disguise these as other foods.  If you want to eat them go ahead but why pretend they're brownies when no amount of CACAO POWDER could hide that this has to taste like berries, dates, algae, and powders.

well ic an see the appeal sometimes in wanting to bite into a burger as opposed to carrots. there's a texture and appearance you'd like.

however when raw foodism almost prevents processing or cooking, this argument falls apart and it's more clear that the renaming of granola bars to "cookies" is a deluded attempt to supplant the normal food vocab with the raw food vocab.

I wish I wouldn't have to reply because whenever it feels like I give dok a little leeway that I'm somehow supporting his craziness, but I think it needs to be said that this stuff won't hurt you unless you're actually gonna switch to a raw diet

personally I like to see these recipes, I think it'll be fun to try them out.

btw on the subject of getting poisoned by your food, honey from local places can be dangerous to your health if the beekeeper doesn't know what he's doing. I wouldn't trust buying it from any random person

it's okay if they aren't awful tasting, but they are! I mean, there is nothing, NOTHING, as good as a warm brownie out of the oven, and I hate to see people waste money on goji berries and shit like that. you obviously don't apply, but he's filled this thread up with enough garbage recipes that it should be pointed out that these are NOT 100% healthy and they can in fact be unhealthy and more importantly they usually don't taste as good as the original!

it wouldn't be a thing if 90% of the topic wasn't doktormartini gushing about superfoods, but since he is, it is worth pointing out that none of this will taste that good, and will more likely taste AWFUL. if I didn't live in a bad place currently I would fill this place with meat recipes all the time just to counter! do not spend all your money on ANISEED OIL or whatever the fuck.

Please show me where spirulina could be carcinogenic?  I have not heard of this.

Also, the brownies have so much cacao and fudge on top that is all you really taste.  My point was to try and reduce the flavor of the superfoods because honestly spirulina taste like shit.  But, if you go to the awesome topic I posted some nice studies done on spirulina :)

Here is some info about Goji:
Either way, you can't deny that berries in general are really healthy for you.

Yeah this topic should be about everyone so more people should post recipes.  And you can't say they would taste awful cause you haven't tried them :)​  My boss said they are the best thing I've ever made (She's biased though).

I just feel like if you are hiding those foods like crazy under CHOCOLATE (yes i know it is just the powder or whatever), you should seriously reconsider whether you should eat them.

also best thing you've ever made doesn't mean much when your recipes are all like this it's kind of like saying "at least this one was covered in chocolate powder"

I don't know I've just always hated people taking foods that absolutely are not a part of something like brownies then making them look like brownies it just seems like you're trying to fool yourself into pretending you like these foods!

edit: I also don't see where you get the idea that overloading yourself with vitamins is good...whatever extra vitamins you're taking in that your body can't use either go to waste or get stuck in your body and start causing problems, just plain eat a balanced diet and stop with these superfoods, they're not super!

I understand your points...

Also it's not just about the vitamins, it's about the other things as well such as carotenoids, antioxidants, and other things like that.
